Looking for webpage updating, php pages

Kinda like a webform I can use to update info on a page

Ok, I could write this myself, and it would do basically what I need. But I was wondering if there is a way to write a form that I could have the option of putting in a picture, a list(ordered or not), a title, and also allow the user to somewhat customize the additional stuff(ie. font color, font size, typeface). I could probably code this, and it would just take me a while to do. I was wondering if there is anything already built.

I basically am building a site that will be self-sustaining, but 1 part(the News page) of the site needs to be editable. But I want to dummy proof it, so people that don't have HTML experience can still do changes to this one page.

Any input is great.

Thanks
Mike

Essentially you are building a CMS.

I have one, as I imagine most of us do, but I coded it myself. I found that I needed it to be tailored to my exact situation. If I grabbed one from somewhere I would still have to change all of the db code and add or remove fields in the form. Then add all of the handling of those extra fields.

It just seemed so much simpler to do it myself. If you really want to grab one from somewhere you could always dowload a CMS from hotscripts or the like and pick apart the code or use it as a reference.

Actually, I won't be updating a database. I will want to update actual HTML files. This way I stay away from the database, which is a mess(it was a mess when I got here). And this really doesn't need to be stored in it, cause it's going to be changed MAYBE 1 time a month on a good year...

But your saying it's easier to write it up yourself eh... cool, I suppose I can do that. Although it would've been nice if something was built already too I guess :)

take a look through hotscripts.com and see if there is anything, you will probably have to tweak it but it could save some time.

db or files, all the same, I usually have a bit of both. ;)
